Top Features in Hyper-V 2012 • Storage improvements • Dynamic Memory • Hyper-V Replica • VM Mobility • New and Improved Networking Capabilities
Storage Migration Storage Migration technology enables you to move a virtual machine and its storage to another location without downtime. • During migration the virtual machine hard drive is copied from one location to another • Changes are written to both source and destination drive • You can move virtual machine storage to same host, another host, or server message block share (SMB) • Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in different locations
Storage Migration Hyper-V Virtual Machine • Enables Storage Load Balancing • No downtime servicing • Leverages Hyper-V Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) 1 VHD Stack 3 2 VHD VHD 4 5 Destination Device Source Device
Storage on SMB 3.0 file shares Hyper-v can store the following on SMB 3.0 file shares: • Configuration files • Virtual hard disk files (in VHD and/or VHDX format) • Snapshot files SMB 3.0 is available in Windows Server 2012 only
Virtual Fibre Channel support With this Hyper-V virtual Fibre Channel feature, you can connect to Fibre Channel storage from within a virtual machine. This allows you to use your existing Fibre Channel investments to support virtualized workloads. Support for Fibre Channel in Hyper-V guests also includes support for many related features, such as virtual SANs, live migration, and MPIO.
New Virtual Hard Disk format • Up to 64 TB per VHDX • Protection against data corruption • Improved alignment when deployed to a large sector disk • Larger block size for Dynamic and Differencing disks (4KB logical sectors) - Better performance
Dynamic Memory • Startup VS Minimum – peaks during boot • Second-level paging – additional memory during reboots
Introducing Hyper-V Replica • Disaster Recover Scenarios • Planned, Unplanned and Test Failover • Pre-Configuration for IP Settings for primary/remote location • Key Features • RPO/RTO in minutes • Seamless integration with hyper-V and Clustering No requirements!!! All you need is two connected 2012 Hyper-V servers
Move VM’s anywhere. Anytime. Live! • Live Migration with High Availability • SMB Live Migration • Live Storage Migration • Share noting Live Migration • Multiple concurrent migrations
Networking in Hyper-V 2012 • QOS - Minimum and Maximum bandwidth • Dynamic Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) • DHCP and Router guard • Extensible Switching • NIC Teaming • Up to 32 NIC’s in a single team • Team NIC’s from different manufactures
Top Features in Virtual Machine Manager 2012 • Improved Fabric Management • Service Management Provisioning • Clouds management – Private and Public

Fabric Management • PhysicalServers • Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen • Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider • Host provisioning – from bare metal to Hyper-V to Cluster provisioning • Networking • Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter location • Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses • Automated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider (F5 and Citrix) • Storage • Storage Management using SMI-S (Netapp, HP, EMC) • Discover storage arrays and pools • Classify storage based on throughput and capabilities • Discover or configure LUNs and assign to hosts and clusters • Rapid provisioning of VMs using snapshot cloning of LUNs
Fabric Management • Update Management of Fabric Servers • Update operation control (on-demand scan and on-demand remediation) • Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated/orchestrated • Integrated with Windows Server Update Server • Dynamic Optimization (DO) • Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize VM performance • Leverages live migration to move workloads • Power Optimization (PO) • Powers down servers to optimize power utilization • Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host
Private Cloud Management • Defines a collection of resources that can be assigned to users or groups • Composed of a Fabric and Services
Private Cloud Usage Scenario Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage) Create a cloud from the fabric Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud
